Theoretical study by DFT of organometallic complexes based on metallocenes active in NLO.

This study is based on the valuation of a few model molecules. The objective of this research is focused on linear optical (LO) and nonlinear optical (NLO) enhancement of five organometallic molecules based on different metallocenes. These molecules were subjected to several calculations by different long-range functionals CAM-B3LYP, LC-BLYP, LC-wPBE, wB97X, M11, and the following three Minnesota functionals: M06-2X and M08-HX in comparison with the MP2 approach.
